Restaurante "O Forno Transmontano" — Restaurant in Lajes das Flores

The experience was a rollercoaster in a very good way! I read online i have to do a reservation and there is a fixed menu. So I called... the lady only spoke portoguese and I do not speak portoguese.. we managed to communicate in a magical way and all I knew was that we will have meat. We went there and the food was served straight from the oven. It was like going to have dinner in my grandma's place, if only my grandma was portoguese and not Greek... the taste was homemade and the quantity Greek.. of course we could not manage so we asked for a take away for the rest. To our great surprise when we opened the takeaway we realised that they have made us sandwiches with fresh bread and the pork leftovers. To finish our delicious meal we were served a local alcoholic drink like the Greek tsipouro in an impressive barrel. To conclude, this dinner will be missed and I really wish we had more days to try the fish plates also.. Thank you papi...

For the main course we got freshly grilled fish on the first day - even served by Valentina himself and pork with pineapple on the second. I highly...

Usually there is no real decision on the exact typenof food. You select from fish or meat and Valentina will create something wonderful. You'll get sausages and cheese as starters and lots of alcohol! The staff is very friendly and takes their work seriously. Food is served quickly and you feel like a...
